lyrics

In exhausted dream so futile
As if to teach me something quick
The handsome cage slams shut
I’m caught inside of it
And mine is plated with the gold leaf
And yours is made up of your bones
Roach trapped under an upturned glass
The mercy that I showed that insect made me sad
And maybe I’ll do myself a favor too
And climb up out of this perpetual stew
You can simmer someone new
You can set ‘em and forget ‘em too
All meat is the same to you
I let you just consume yourself
Like ouroboros fell into its yell
You let me just consume myself
Like prometheus just lit himself on fire
While I am choking on the ashes
You are sampling the stock
I know it’s hot
Boiling something dead just makes a better broth

about

Mouthbreather Portland, Oregon

Math rock, post-hardcore, and experimental folk walk into a bar. The sound person only provides them with 4 drink tickets, because they are a two-piece band called Mouthbreather.
Dynamic song structures and time signatures with no shortage of distinct melody and thoughtful lyricism. Something for everybody! Except maybe your aunt who might say “I don’t get why he has to do all that yelling.”
